​​The sciatic nerves are the largest (and longest) nerves of the body, reaching about the size of your thumb in diameter, and running down the back of each leg.

When these nerves are irritated or affected by the inflammation of nearby soft tissues, doctors refer to this as sciatica. Symptoms include:

Burning

Tingling

Numbness

Cramping​

Chiropractic adjustments can be quite effective in reducing nerve irritation and its associated pain. Sciatica symptoms respond dramatically to the restoration of normal spinal function through chiropractic care.​​
